piety

At ninety years of piety
he was very good
prayed day and night
as they said he should
never did a naughty thing
even if he could

his brother was a rogue
by inclination
indulged in alcohol
and nights of fornication
had a mint invested
as a hedge against inflation

both said a final prayer
seeking absolution
for a life so sinful
an admiral solution
both souls went to heaven
without retribution

some may think this gross unfair
where is justice for a start
but heaven has satisfaction
for your bleeding heart
would you spend an eternity
with a boring pious fart
